This Manufacturing Representative Agreement is essential for manufacturers looking to expand their market presence in Ireland through independent sales representatives or agencies. The document is designed to comply with Irish law, including the European Communities (Commercial Agents) Regulations 1994 and related legislation. It's typically used when a manufacturer wants to establish a formal relationship with a representative who will promote and sell their products in a specified territory without becoming an employee of the manufacturer. The agreement covers crucial elements such as commission structures, performance targets, territory definitions, and both parties' obligations. It's particularly important in ensuring clear boundaries between independent contractor status and employment relationships, while providing adequate protection for both parties' interests and compliance with Irish commercial law requirements.
